Edelweiss for Sale! - no, not the Rogers and Hammerstein version from the Sound of Music! 

100+ fresh Edelweiss (Leontopodium Alpinum) - a beautiful mountain flower that should be in every rockery or alpine bed.

Its flowers are delicate, beautiful and interesting - they have a hairy appearance which is probably to protect it from high UV levels in its mountain home.  Unsurprisingly It is a national symbol of many mountainous countries including Romania, Austria, Bulgaria, Mongolia, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Italy. According to folk tradition, giving this flower to a loved one is a promise of dedication.

Seed Germination

  • Sow directly before the last frost in the spring by sprinkling seeds on the garden bed ideally onto a bed of small gravel etc so the seeds can wash down between the stones to keep them cool and moist
  • Alternatively start seeds indoors about two months before the last frost. 
  • Wrap the seeds and a small amount of slightly moist compost in plastic bag and place it in the fridge for three weeks. 
  • Sprinkle the seeds on the surface of prepared seed tray of moist seed compost
  • Gentle press seeds into surface to ensure a good contact but do not cover as they require light for germination 
  • Keep in a coolish location 12-15c and ensure compost does not dry out
  • Transplant seedlings to the garden after the last frost in the spring. 
  • Can also be grown in a container or pot.
